Well, the fifteen minutes it lasted for were fun but the walk home took a lot longer than that.
I originally thought it was seized but the head came off fine and it turns out that the main bearing is rooted (locked the conrod in place at the bottom of the stroke) and needs to be replaced along with the conrod to get it going again so its up for sale. Would cost around a grand to do this as quoted from a shop (ie labour, parts, gaskets etc).
Other than that its not in too bad nick. The bike is complete with the engine in a box with the head next to it, casings arent cracked or anything. Not scored or ripped in the barrel, and the powervalve assembly is fine too. Shocks and forks are good (plenty of dampening left and no oil leaks),as are the discs (wavy rear), levers, cables (braided brake lines) and pegs. Nickel coated pro circuit fatty pipe comes with it too and a matching silencer. Basically it just could do with a new bottom end so if someone would like to sell me one I would be interested..otherwise its 500 bucks so I can spend it on more bike bits. Not interested in really cheeky low offers either as I dont mind if it sits in a corner of the garage for a while.
Selling as a whole unit preferably.
My number is 027 256 9540, viewing after work or in weekends
